Three  Africans  become  Moslems  for  every  one 
who  becomes  a  Christian. 


Carrying  Rel  lgion  with 
Business 

The  Moslem  traders  who  are  now 
going  by  the  thousand  into  equatorial 
Africa  have  two  objects- — the  increase  of 
business  and  the  spread  of  Moham¬ 
medanism;  their  slogan  is  “Africa  for 
Islam.” 

Christian  missionaries  also  are  tryin 
to  win  Africa  for  their  religion  by  wor 
both  in  equatorial  Africa  and  in  North 
Africa  among  the  Moslems  themselves. 
It  seems  that  the  Christians  should  have 
the  advantage,  for  during  the  last  gener¬ 
ation  Christian  nations  have  taken 
possession  of  fifty-nine-sixtieths  of  the 
continent,  but  unfortunately  every  Chris¬ 
tian  is  not  a  missionary,  while  every 
Moslem  is.  Therefore  for  every  convert 
to  Christianity  Mohammedanism  is  gain¬ 
ing  three.

A  ten-wife-power  plow. 


Learning  the  White  Man  s 
Ways 

The  chief  who  wanted  a  plow  like  the 
missionary’s  because  it  could  do  the 
work  of  ten  wives  was  learning  the  best 
of  the  white  man’s  industrial  system. 

Industrial  schools  are  teaching  the 
natives  to  use  plows  and  sewing  mach¬ 
ines  and  printing  presses,  but  other 
forces  are  showing  them  the  worst  of 
the  white  man’s  ways.  Yearly  half  a 
million  men  go  into  the  Rand  mining 
district,  the  “University  of  Crime.” 
Thousands  return  to  the  kraal  to  add 
the  diseases  and  vice  of  the  white  man 
to  the  evils  of  paganism. 

We  shall  have  to  strengthen  our 
Methodist  schools  if  we  are  to  counteract 
this  influence,  because  now  for  every 
African  who  comes  to  our  schools, 
thirty  go  into  the  mines.

The  medical  missionary  must  take  the  place 
of  the  witch  doctor. 


The  Easiest  Way  to  Reach 
Africa 

The  easiest  way  to  reach  Africa,  is  by 
quinine  and  antiseptics,  for  the  country 
has  fifty-seven  varieties  of  fever  and  a 
million  poisonous  insects  of  which  half 
either  bite  or  sting  while  the  other  half 
do  both. 

The  native  witch  doctor,  who  works 
upon  the  principle  of  “kill  or  cure,”  is 
totally  incapable  of  treating  these  ills 
and  is  much  more  likely  to  kill  than  he 
is  to  cure. 

The  native  is  quick  to  realize  the 
superiority  of  the  white  doctor  in  treat¬ 
ing  fevers  and  dressing  wounds,  and  a 
missionary  with  medical  training  has  a 
double  chance  of  reaching  the  natives.
